TENSION TYPE RUPTURE DISCS

Fig. A

Fig. B

Tension Type Rupture Discs are oriented in a system with the process media pressure against the concave side of the rupture disc (Figure A, 30° Seat; Figure B, Flat Seat). As the process pressure increases beyond the allowable operating pressure, the rupture disc starts to grow. This growth will continue as the pressure increases, until the tensile strength of the material is reached and rupture occurs.

REVERSE ACTING RUPTURE DISCS

Fig. C

Reverse Acting Rupture Discs are oriented in a system with the process media pressure against the convex side of the disc (Figure C), placing the rupture disc in compression. As the burst pressure rating of the disc is reached, the compression loading on the rupture disc causes it to reverse, snapping through the neutral position and causing it to open by a predetermined scoring pattern.

A reverse acting rupture disc provides some advantages, as compared to tension type rupture discs, which may warrant consideration when selecting a rupture disc.

These advantages include:Available with maximum recommended operating pressure ratios up to 95% of the stamped burst pressureUp to full vacuum capabilities without the need of an additional support memberLonger service life under cyclic or pulsating conditionsConstructed using thicker materials providing greater resistance to corrosion

This guide provides a brief overview of the various tension and reverse acting design rupture discs, holders, accessories and options offered by Continental Disc Corporation. For detailed information regarding a specific design, refer to specific product literature, or contact the factory directly.

ALARMSYSTEMS

B.D.I.® Alarm System

The B.D.I.® Alarm System is designed specifically for use with Continental Disc Corporation rupture discs or vent panels.

The B.D.I.® Alarm System consists of an alarm strip, interfaced with a monitoring unit, computer, annunciator panel, control panel or other equipment. The alarm system is activated by the opening of a rupture disc or vent panel.

The B.D.I.® Alarm System is a normally closed, low-powered circuit. When a rupture disc opens, the alarm strip is severed, interrupting the circuit which activates a monitoring device. This device is used to signal that an overpressure condition has occurred and that media is venting.

Proven features include:Signals instantly when a rupture disc or vent panel has opened.

Positive signal of fugitive emissions and/or the occurrence of an overpressure relief condition.

Signals emergency equipment, control room and/or operating personnel to alter or stop a process.

Prevents an undetected open vent line once an overpressure condition occurs.

The B.D.I. Alarm Strip is manufactured as either an Integral B.D.I. or a Universal B.D.I. design, dependent upon the rupture disc product it is to mate with.

Both the Integral B.D.I. and Universal B.D.I. designs are available with the choice of a molded plug or bare leads connection. B.D.I. Lead Wire Assemblies of different lengths are available to connect the Integral B.D.I. or Universal B.D.I. with molded plug connection to the monitoring system.

HOLDER OPTIONS

Continental Disc Corporation holders are available in a variety of types and styles to meet your needs. The rupture disc selection table, as shown on pages 6-7, shows which disc may be used in specific holders, and the holder options which are available.

Continental Disc Corporation offers an extensive line of holders including:

Insert HoldersHPX-PT™ Pre-Torqued HoldersDouble Disc HoldersFull Bolted HoldersScrew Type HoldersUnion Type HoldersCLEAN-SWEEP® Holders

Consult your Continental Disc Corporation representative or the factory for those applications needing additional features or modification.

Sealing Capabilities

Continental’s holder designs pro-vide superior sealing capabilities to prevent product loss or contamina-tion. The tapered seat configuration of Continental’s HPX®, UNISERT®, ULTRX® and RCS holders out-performs other, similar designs, without the need for “pre-torque” arrangements. However, a pre-torque-able holder is available for those customers who desire one, or whose specifications require it.

Insert Holders

Insert type rupture disc holders are flat faced assemblies that fit between two ASME, DIN or JIS companion flanges, as shown in the photograph to the right. Insert holders to fit other standards are available. These holders are designed for eleven different rupture disc styles, described in paragraphs 1 through 4 below. Common features of Continental Disc Corporation’s Insert Holders include:

Fit within companion flange bolts, allowing easy installation and removalPre-assembly clips are standard and provide means to assemble the rupture disc and holder together before installation in piping systemStainless steel flow direction nameplates permanently attached to the holderStainless steel customer identification tag permanently attached

1. 7I Insert holders, designed for Standard and Composite rupture discs, are available in 30° light or heavy lip configurations, dependent upon size.

2. The UNISERT® Insert holder has a flat seat configuration for use with either a MICRO X® or Composite flat seat rupture disc. Holder alignment pins and matching notches in the rupture disc provide correct rupture disc orientation in the holder. A J-Hook, along with flow direction arrows on the nameplate, aids in proper assembly installation between the companion flanges.

3. The HPX®, ULTRX® and LOTRX® Insert holders are designed with either a tapered or flat raised seat on the holder inlet. This design allows a uniform seal load on the mating rupture disc. Each holder has a number of round and/or oblong pins and the mating rupture disc is identically notched, providing proper rupture disc orientation in the holder. A J-Hook and flow direction arrows on the nameplates aid in the correct assembly orientation between companion flanges.

4. The RCS Insert holder is designed for simplicity and safety of installation with superior sealing capabilities. Three round pins located in the holder inlet and matching holes in the RCS Rupture Disc provide correct rupture disc and flow direction orientation. A tapered seat configuration allows a uniform seal load on the rupture disc.

HPX®-PT Pre-Torqued Holders

HPX-PT pre-torqued holders incorporate high strength steel socket head cap screws to ensure accurate loading and sealing of the HPX® rupture disc. The HPX-PT holder allows the disc to be correctly fitted in the workshop using precise recommended torque levels, prior to installation of the complete assembly between the flanges in the process system relief stream.

CLEAN-SWEEP® Rupture Disc Holder

The CLEAN-SWEEP® Holder is designed for systems handling v i s c o u s m e d i a p ro c e s s e s , particularly where product build-up in a piping system may cause excessive overpressure conditions.

This holder is an ideal replacement for rupture discs installed off the leg of a pipe tee where product build-up could affect the proper operation of the rupture disc.

The CLEAN-SWEEP® Holder body is specifically designed for a rupture disc.

The rupture disc is mounted directly on the holder body adjacent to the process flow. Compared to other designs, the CLEAN-SWEEP® greatly reduces the possibility of product build-up under the rupture disc and it is available for pressures up to 1440 psig (99,3 barg).

RUPTUREDISCHOLDERS

Double Disc Holders

A Double Disc Holder Assembly consists of three holder compo-nents: an inlet, a mid-flange and an outlet piece, along with two rupture discs. The first of the two rupture discs is located between the inlet and the mid-flange, and the second rupture disc is between the mid-flange and outlet.

This assembly arrangement provides the solution to multiple applications without the need of a more complicated piping arrangement.

Double disc holders are available for:

HPX® ULTRX®

LOTRX® UNISERT7I RCS

Union Type Holders

Union Type Holders are available for pressure ranges up to 6,000 psig, depending on disc size. All sizes are available with threaded or welded inlets in combination with threaded, welded or muffled outlets. Special unions are available.


Full Bolted Holders

Full Bolted Holders do not need companion flanges. The proper seat configuration is machined directly into the flange. Full bolted holders are available in 30° light or heavy lip seat configurations, dependent upon size.

Welded, threaded or flat faced inlets and outlets are available. Stainless steel flow directional nameplates are provided.

Screw Type Holders

Screw Type Holders are available for pressures ranging up to 15,000 psig. The Screw Type holder is supplied with 1/4” or 1/2” MNPT inlet threads in combination with MNPT free or muffled outlets.
